remember Him, He will remember you..

Salam everyone..i just want to share this beautiful hadith with everyone:

Narrated Abu Hurairah Ra:
The prophet PBUH said: Allah Azza wajalla says:
“I am just as my slave thinks I am. (ie I am able to do for him what he thinks I can do for him)
and I am with him if he remembers Me.
If he remembers me in himself, I too,remember himin Myself.
If he remembers me in a group of people, I remember him in a groupthat is better than them.
and if he comes one span nearer to me, I go one cubit nearer to him.
and if he comes one cubit nearer to Me, I go a distance of two outstretched arms nearer to him;
and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running“

-Sahih Al-Bukhari, 9/7405-

i was deeply touched after reading this hadith and a few things that i feel like sharing is:

1. always think good of Allah, ie He will help you, he will guide you, He will never leave you alone with all your problems, He hears your prayers, your tears, your praises and grants you your wishes by giving you whats best for you.

Allah knows whatever you conceal or reveal.

so never give up your hope on Allah🙂

2. we can clearly see how gracious and merciful Allah is. by just putting a small effort to get closer to Allah, He will, in return, double that effort to get closer to us. Ironic isnt it considering our status as a humble servant? But that is one of the beauty of our relationship with Allah. SubhanAllah..

3. only in rememberance of Allah does heart find peace..[13:28] So always TRY to remember the king of all the kings in every step that we take in our daily life. BUT, honestly i think this is VERY hard to do, especially with exams coming up and all the worldly matters that keeps lingering in my mind.

“Believers, do not let either your possessions or your children divert you from the Remembrance of Allah. Those who do that shall be the losers”. (63:9)

good luck to those who have exams coming up and to those who have already had theirs, good luck for ur results and most importantly, doa and tawakal!

and dont forget to include our brothers and sisters in Palestine in our daily doa.. they fight with blood and tears while we will fight with our pens and papers.insyaAllah
